Piece Of Black Velvet:
Jardiniere velvet (pronounced zhar-deen-yare). A handsome silk velvet with a multicolored pattern resembling a flower grouping set against a light background. The weaving is most intricate, as there may be several heights of velvet and uncut loops set against a damask or satin background.One 4x5 Camera equipped for multiple flash, and a darkroom in which you can produce 8 x 10 glossy enlargements are all you need to get started in industrial photography. You don't need a studio. When studio-type pictures are needed, you can set up a temporary studio in some corner of the factory or in one of the office rooms. A large piece of black velvet or velveteen, about 8 feet by 10 feet, will be found useful for backgrounds in a good many of your pictures, and should be carried as part of your kit at all times.
A much larger length of thread is used for the pile in forming the loops afterward cut. The beam for the ground cloth is slung at the back of the loom, and as this is woven the pile is worked into it. Double-faced velvet is woven with the loops of the pile thread on both sides of the ground cloth. Uncut velvet, or ''terry," is woven on wires which have no Knife attached. Figured velvet is obtained by alternating cut velvet and terry, using a loom with Jacquard patterns. Velvet brocades are made with the gold and silver threads as extra weft, the figure being wrought in by hand as with embroidery.
